The gun lobby took glee in Tuesday's vote in Colorado to recall two of the key players in the recent enactment of Colorado's tough gun control laws. There are, however, a few disconcerting disclosures in the vote tallies. The vote was 51% to 49% to recall the state's President of the Senate John Morse and 56% to 44% to recall Senator Angela Giron. A whopping 40% of eligible voters turned out.
What this suggests to me is that 49% of the voters thought that the new gun control measures are okay. That is, 49% of the voters in Colorado have no clue about how our country was founded, why we broke from England or why our forefathers wrote the Constitution the way they did. That's a disturbing thought to contemplate.
Of course, it also shows that only 40% of the state thinks enough about our Constitution to get out and vote on such an important issue. It also says that Colorado voters discriminate against women, inasmuch as Giron only got 44% of the vote to Morse's 49%.
It also tells me that 49% of residents would prefer to go to the movies unarmed and to allow some deranged gunman to come in and start shooting at will.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
